hi I'm Chris and today I'll be teaching
you how to play the verse and pre-chorus
of seven Asian army by the White Stripes
[Music]
this is the first part of this tutorial
we're going to be playing a new drum the
floor tom as well as playing at the bass
drum ii you sound that we're going to be
introducing this episode is the hi-hat
now most of the time you'll be playing
the hi-hat with a drumstick however
today we're going to be playing it with
our left leg that's called playing the
hi-hat pedal there's two notes you can
do when you play the higher pedal one is
this Knight which is considered an open
higher pedal and one is this note which
is considered a closed hi-hat pedal now
I want to use that second sound when you
then add this hi-hat pedal on to your
previous pattern of playing bass drums
and floor toms
[Music]
so if we look at the sheet music below
we'll find two new notes the first is
the floor tom and it lies between line
three and four of the sheet music the
second one is a hi-hat and that actually
lies below the sheet music and it's
represented by an X now if we look at
the sheet music it requires us to play
these three notes over and over again
that's the verse if we look at the
pre-chorus it adds the snare drum on
beat two and four let's now try and play
both of those rhythms and then play them
together
[Music]
[Music]
okay so it's time to play now with the
backing track however it's going to be a
little bit more complicated than
previous episodes we're going to be
playing diverse both bars are then
replaying four times and then we're
going to be playing the pre-chorus both
bars again four times let's give that a
go
[Music]
thanks for watching and I hope this
video was helpful stay tuned for next
episode where we're going to be learning
how to play we will rock you by Queen I
make a big nice clean industry gonna be
a big mess you got mud on your face you
big disgrace kickin your can all over
the place singing
[Music]
